Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Second rate reporter says what?

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

He really is that stupid.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Not all heroes wear capes.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

2. In Dec, I reported Kuwait – under political pressure – moved their annual party from 4 Seasons to the Trump Hotel https://t.co/EgSBgvoafn

“Trump can’t be bought!” said the Trumplodytes. Yeah, but he can be rented — and for a surprising reasonable fee, given the (previous) value of the office he’s currently befouling…

4. And tonight, by TOTAL COINCIDENCE, Trump is dropping by the Trump Hotel. He's there right now https://t.co/Fefksx6n3L pic.twitter.com/wWXb1NrALB

8. From the White House press pool: "The pool is holding in vans and not being allowed inside the [Trump] hotel."

CAN’T THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH, REPUBLICANS!

    It is so blatantly obvious that I laughed out loud when I read the story. Can you imagine the heads exploding if Hilz did something like this as President?

    @lollipopguild:

    No. Because the effing hypocrites in the House and Senate woulda been chasing after Pres HRC with their zeal about emoluments if she’d retained control over a single B&B, but IOKIYAR.

    I try to remember that congresscritters are human, but the smarmy letter I got from Toomey about his complete confidence in Sessions upholding the law has been testing that… Sessions wants to bring us back to a pre-1850 view of civil rights, with chain gangs and everything (Google private prisons…).

    ETA: Or, what Hal said. :-)

    Trump nor any member of his family should not be allowed within, I’m going to be generous here, 1/2 mile of any income-generating Trump property anywhere in the world for the duration of his presidency. I’m even willing (not happily) to spot him Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, since those are arguably his residences, but no Trump-owned or -labelled hotels, office buildings, apartment complexes, golf courses, retail malls, mixed-use developments, or casinos.

    @SiubhanDuinne: He is going to spend every weekend at Mar-a-Largo unless he is at one of his other properties. The tax payers will be paying Billions in travel expenses for him and his family.

    How is this possible? I thought we were supposed to be afraid of foreigners, and here he is meeting with them in his hotel.

    Also, I thought his company was not going to have overseas businesses so what’s up with this?

    more news from the Delaware special election

    Ryan GrimVerified account‏ @ ryangrim 1h1 hour ago

    Not only did Dems hold the Senate in Delaware today, turnout was roughly double a normal special election. Trump has made nothing normal.

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: While I am happy for the dems crushing it, the reported turnout was still piss poor 40%.

    Don’t we have a word for people who sell themselves for short time use? Know I’ve heard it before but I can’t quite put my finger on it………
    OTHO It may be that the people who sell themselves for sex are whole lot more honorable that the assclown who sells himself for attention.
